examine her quarries; walk upon her soil and see the crops it bears ;. 

 go among - her forests when the leaves are green upon the trees, or when 

 they have changed to the gorgeous colors they wear in the fall-time ;. 

 look upon her fruits and see that they are beautiful — taste, and see that 

 they are good. Search for facts and reject fancies. Judge for your- 

 self, and if you come with earnest purpose to help yourself and to help 

 to better society, you will find friends to appreciate and that will ap- 

 preciate you.
